MANCHESTER: Uefa’s Covid-19 tsar says there is no question of June’s Euro 2020 tournament being cancelled or postponed and that fans could yet be allowed to travel internationally to the games.
Koch, the former head of communicable diseases at Switzerland’s Federal Office of Public Health, said Uefa will make a decision in early April on the suitability of venues and planned capacities after consulting with the 12 host countries. Uefa have asked the 12 host nations to provide their plans for stadium entry and other issues. The governing body last year outlined four operational scenarios — for full stadiums, 50-100% capacity or 20-30% capacity and games behind closed doors.
The host cities are Glasgow, Dublin, Bilbao, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Munich, Rome, St Petersburg, Bucharest, Budapest and Baku, with the semis and final set for London’s Wembley Stadium.Koch would not rule out the possibility that fans could be allowed to travel to different countries to attend matches.
